Nederpop without frills, that is Zeeland's Bløf. The group was founded in 1992 and consists of Paskal Jacobsen (vocals / guitar), Bas Kennis (keys), Chris Götte (drums) and Peter Slager (bass guitar).

With the CD Helder and the single Liefs uit London from this album, the group really broke through in 1998. XXL Live With Het Zeeuw Orkest was recorded during the street festival in Vlissingen on 2 and 3 July 1998. No new material on this mini-CD, only eight well-known songs, including lavish versions of Aan De Kust and Liefs Uit Londen and, partly thanks to the accompaniment of Het Zeeuw Orkest, beautiful interpretations of Dit Lied and Laatste Ronde.
